DONE this 29th day of January 2004, in Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines. This Resolution shall take effect upon approval. Regional vulnerability characteristics against earthquake are as follows: Metropolitan Manila will possibly be separated into four regions by the earthquake impact. Reason for regional separation are summarized as follows: Based on the damage analysis results, urban vulnerability of Metropolitan Manila was analyzed. Urban Vulnerability against Earthquake Damage Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Counterpart A gency: Japan International Cooperation A gency infrastructure construction, poor housing condition, highly dense areas, and areas characterized PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) 2 __ Residential Building Damage and Human Casualties Infrastructure and Lifeline Damage Regional vulnerability characteristics against earthquake are as follows: Structure of the Disaster Management Plan for Metropolitan Manila Abbreviations and Acronyms The Study consisted of a variety of tasks. Figure 1.3.2 shows the work schedule of, and respectively. In the Philippines, many agencies including governmental organizations, universities and research institutes have been conducting seismic research and disaster management activities. These agencies have accumulated a great amount of research data, information and reports on earthquakes of the Philippines. The valuable information, opinions and experiences of different agencies on earthquakes in the Philippines should be well integrated into the JICA Study. Information on existing urban conditions and future urban development in Manila is another significant data for the estimation of seismic damage. Therefore, a Steering and Technical Committee, composed of representatives from organizations involved in seismic research, and urban planning were organized to participate in MMEIRS to guide and advise on the directions and policy-related matters relating to the project.
